Delays, stops likely along I-72

WINCHESTER — Traffic will be slowed to rolling stops Thursday on Interstate 72 near Mile 54 in Scott County in both east- and west-bound lanes.

The work zone will be in place beginning at 2:30 p.m. about 5 miles east and west of the location to allow for utility work. Illinois State Police will block entrance ramps at the U.S. 67 interchange west of Jacksonville and the Old U.S. 36/Winchester interchange for a short period of time. The rolling stops will last about 15 minutes.

Drivers are cautioned to pay attention to signs in the work zone, obey posted speed limits, expect delays and be prepared to stop.
